Do you disable adblocker when a site nicely asks you to?

[Echoherb]

When you get those popups that say something similar to "We need ads to run, please consider disabling adblock" do you actually disable it?

I usually do now as long as the ads I'm getting aren't overly annoying or intrusive, I didn't used to before. If the site demands that I disable adblock to continue using the site though, I will go elsewhere.

Go out of business then.

[LoLcano]

No. Ads are cancer .

[Mixxy]

Sometimes. But most of the time I do, I immediately turn it right the goddamn fuck back on because the site then takes the chance to assault me with a million popups, some uncomfortable porn ads on sidebars, and one of those arse-awful ads that play fucking sound right at the very bottom of the page.

No. I absolutely hate online advertisements, and will never turn off ad blocker.

[ge0]

depends on how bad I want to view the content. Usually no.

[kaintk]

depend what the site is important or not, 99% of the time if the site block me from seeing contents because of adblock, i just go elsewhere, its stupid from them to block you because they must lose a lots of view

[LiiLoSNK]

Lol yes I love viruses.

No. But if it's a site I genuinely care about supporting, I'll donate or sign up for a premium membership as long as it's reasonable. *points to MMO-Champion premium*

To be honest, no. Then again, there are sites that'll throttle you then, forcing you to disable or find what you want somewhere else.

I disabled Ad Blocker for a news site I wanted to read. Nearly every ad contained video and/or sound. After a day or two trying to ignore it and continue to use the site I gave up. Turned Ad Blocker back on and I'll never return.

I'm glad I wasn't drinking anything, because that made me laugh immediately.

[Boricha]

Very rarely. Only if I really like them and use their site a lot. I can't think of the last time I did it, has to have been a few years.

[Sky High]

nope, I say "fuck that" and get off that site.

[dunhildas]

Depends if it a Pornsite with some porn I really wanted to watch.



Other than that? Fuck no, use an article with such requirement and I will not bother to read it.

[Freighter]

No, last time I did I got my browser hijacked from an ad.

[Daws]

Using ad-blockers almost since they came out and no plans to turn them off. As example this one page has 11 blocks on it, in total it's blocked 4.1 million requests in almost 3 years. This all comes down to 30% of requests are adds so almost 1 third of internet traffic is adds (or other traffic which is deemed worthy of blocking). When adds play fair I'll reconsider until then ad-block on, annoying garbage off.

[Quinraylo]

Yeah i don't turn off ad block rarely hate ads they over do it or i would let it slide.

[Coolthulhu]

Absolutely not. There's hardly anything shadier than internet advertising.

[the game]

mine stays on. Ads on websites are all intrusive and annoying.
